lol yeah I used to keep my 64 on all the time before I got my 1541. The worst was typing in one of those long ass programs and then there being an error in one of the lines. Summer/Winter games were some of my favorite games. Also Dr. J vs Larry Bird: One on One by EA. [/ QUOTE ] I loved that one too. I remember trying to constantly break the backboard and that little dude would come out and sweep up the mess. |

My favorite was The Art of the Exploding Fist.
I also remember getting off my older cousin Leather Goddess of Phoebos which was a adult version of Zork. I also remember having to use alligator clip jumpers on the back of the keyboard in order to play certain bootleg games. |

I spent many many many hours of my youth playing Jumpman Junior, Space Taxi, Bard's Tale, Wasteland, Legacy of the Ancients, and the (not as good) sequel Legend of Blacksilver.

I have a Commodore 64 in its original box sitting in my garage as we speak. Any buyers? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] And yes there were some great great games on that computer. Neuromancer was probably my all time fave followed by Wasteland. Please dont ask how many pages of graph paper I went through playing the Bard's Tale games... [/ QUOTE ] How much? My disk drive broke on mine. Also, can you hook it up to any current monitor/television or do you need a Commodore specific monitor? |

Re: History of gaming platforms- Commodore 64
LB,
I'll check the box but if you remember, you could hook it up to a TV with those little screw connections for antenna inputs. So if you can find a TV like that, you should be in luck. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Just browse some C64 boards and you should be able to figure out your options. As for price, PM me what you think is a fair price and I imagine that will be good enough for me. |

My C64 monitor just had standard AV inputs. I still have it at my mom's place, I'll take a picture of it next time I go over there.

Re: History of gaming platforms- Commodore 64
That would be awesome if they had a resurection in the PC world. Perhaps a new line of retro C64 looking laptops/cell phones/MP3 players

I truly loved my C64 though, from getting blisters on my hand from Decathlon to The bard's tale, I EASILY spent more time playing games on that than I ever did/do on any other gaming system. One of my most remembered moments was working at my apartment complex passing out fliers and getting enough $$$ to buy that Fast Load Cartridge, so I could not only load games ~60% faster, but I could just type in / instead of LOAD"*",8,1 every time, (i think , been quite a while.) |
